The fraudsters, soma hailing from Nigeria, Canada, Mauritius, and Poland, were caught through Operation Wire Wire where the FBI also seized $2.4 million and blocked and recovered a total of $14 million in fraudulent wire transfers. The operation also involved the efforts of the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Treasury, and the US Postal Inspection Service. Source: ZDNet

The Canadian Supreme Court has issued a decision on Google search results that has been criticized by civil liberties groups for possibly setting a precedent for internet censorship. In a 7-2, the Court ruled that any court in the country can issue an injunction to remove the results worldwide when it is needed to guarantee the injunction’s effectiveness. In the judgment, the court also said that the Internet has no borders, and that its natural habitat is global. Google has not replied to requests for comment. Source: The Guardian
